Posted Thursday May 16, 2013, About: Tortorella to Caps: Stop whining

The officiating in games 5 and 6 was horrendous, and certainly favored the Rangers (not that they have a power play). That is not an excuse, however. In the end, it was their goalie who made the difference. Two shut outs is impressive, and frustrating at the same time. The Caps played one bad game the entire series, which was game 7. Many shots, but not high quality shots and few second chances. Whining? Nope. To be honest, given that they had a new coach and 5 days with him before the shortened season started, I'm surprised they made the playoffs. They still need a few pieces, but I have to say Oates has done a pretty good job, and the team started buying into it the second half of the shortened season. The series was certainly exciting, regardless of which team you were rooting for....Here's to some more great games on the way to the cup!

Posted Monday May 13, 2013, About: Holtby accuses Dorsett of dirty hockey no-no

Poorly written...the author meant that they are undefeated in THIS series at home. Having been at the 1987 Game 7 3+ OT against the Islanders (friggin' LaFontaine ****), I know he didn't mean more than this series...

Posted Saturday April 27, 2013, About: Jets unlikely to keep Mark Sanchez

Sanchez will sign with the Cowboys...that would be hysterical!!

Posted Friday April 26, 2013, About: LeBron irked by DPOY snub

This from the guy who says it's not about him, but about the team...can't wait to see them bounced from the playoffs...

Posted Friday April 12, 2013, About: How Oates brought Ovechkin back from the brink

There's a reason they call the playoffs the second season. In hockey, you never know. That being said, it's not the Caps' year. Because of the lockout, they had 5 days with a new coach. The strike hit newly coached teams harder. Holtby is playing well, so you never know...even with half a season, it still beats the NBA, hands down.

Here's to some good hockey during the playoffs!

Posted Tuesday February 12, 2013, About: Pats ready to let Welker hit the market?

I agree, especially since Peyton's arm strength is not so great....short slant's to Welker usually end up with 10+ yards....good call!

Posted Friday February 01, 2013, About: Has Ovechkin lost interest?

They are sluggish and disorganized. Yes, they have a new coach and had 6 days to prepare with him, but they are just phoning it in. Ovie has not had interest since he skipped the practice before game 5 of the playoffs two years ago...yes, the "captain" skipped practice. He has been terrible since the sewed the "C" on his jersey. And I'm a life-long Caps fan....the Wizards may get more wins!!

Posted Friday February 01, 2013, About: Turgeon calls out his prized 7-footer

Perhaps he's trying to tell his "kid" not to let the reports go to his head, and that he has to play every game 100%. I have no problem with bringing these players down to earth....they will have plenty of time to stroke their own egos in the NBA, which is about all they do there...

Posted Wednesday January 23, 2013, About: Jerry Jones strips Jason Garrett of play-calling duties

Unless Jones already has a coach in mind, and knows that coach does not want to call plays, seems a bit premature to move the play-calling duties at this stage...then again, it is Jerry Jones, and his face is pulled way, way too tight...

Posted Tuesday January 22, 2013, About: Tim Brown accuses Callahan of Super Bowl sabotage

So what does that mean for two brothers coaching...they will tank themselves into a tie because they are brothers?

Posted Thursday January 17, 2013, About: Why Tebow could end up in Chicago

If Trestman has worked with him, it is highly unlikely he would want him on his roster. I agree with those saying that Tebow is not an NFL caliber QB. He is built like a tough TE, and certainly has one of the best work ethics in the game. He should consider a position change, but it's my understanding he wants to be a QB. Yes, QBs, like lead singers, seem to get the hottest girls, but since he won't touch one, changing to the bass player (TE) should be a no brainer (no offense to bass players out there)....

Posted Monday January 14, 2013, About: Ravens LB rips New England's 'gimmick' offense

I can't stand the Ravens, and just wonder when Ray Lewis will end up in jail. I hope the game ends with Ray Lewis picking up a fumble or INT, as time runs out, dashes untouched towards the goal line for the game winner, then drops the ball resulting in a Ravens' loss. That, to me, would be a perfect ending, and would likely speed up his journey into an orange jump suit....

Posted Thursday January 10, 2013, About: Griffin return much closer to a year?

September 2014. Of course, Shanny wants him to start in the preseason in 2013....but to be safe, he'd only play him for 3 quarters...

Posted Wednesday December 12, 2012, About: The case against starting RGIII

As a Skins fan, I really don't care about the playoffs....not if it means risking a talent like RG3. Sit him this week and next, and if they are out of playoff contention by game 16, sit him for that, too.

Posted Tuesday December 04, 2012, About: Giants don't care for Daniel Snyder

17-16. All that matters.

Posted Tuesday November 06, 2012, About: Payton to a different NFC East team?

Payton needs a QB to coach. That leaves Dallas and Philly out. Eli's getting up there in age, so if Coughlin goes, there's a shot. Wash has the best chance, except for Danny boy....My guess is that he stays loyal to the Saints...but would certainly welcome him in DC. Anybody want the Shanahan boys?

Posted Friday October 19, 2012, About: Giants' JPP warns RG3

What JPP meant was "Hey, refs...look at me even more closely when I hit him"...what a tool. The Skins O line is not great, and will have its hands full...should be a good match-up...

Posted Tuesday October 16, 2012, About: Will Norv last the season?

Norv peaked as O Coord for Dallas....with that line-up, it was quite easy "everyone go out" ... I think Aikman designed the plays on his chest in the huddle, like we did as kids...when you have that line and talent, it made any O Coord a genius...

Posted Tuesday October 16, 2012, About: Cowboys football IQ questioned

I watched the game....the Boys should have one, but are too stupid to do so. When you have the ball, with 12 seconds and you wander around for 8 secs before calling a timeout, and possibly moving closer for your kicker, you are a moron and deserve to lose. As a Skins fan, I have been saying for a few seasons -- if you want be beat the Boys, just get a lead and put the ball in Romo's hands....works almost every time.

Posted Thursday October 11, 2012, About: Bad news for Winter Classic

If the WC is cancelled, the season is done...not what the NHL needs. It's friggin' October and I should be watching hockey. For us DC fans, it's really bad...we are left with the Wizards. Ugh....

(*Yes, we have the Skins, and it's the first time in Snyder's history that he may be building a team...still better to watch this season than previous ones...but I want my hockey)

Posted Wednesday October 10, 2012, About: Nats players grumbling over Strasburg

In DC, the whining has been going on since April. If the decision was to limit innings to ensure a longer career, then it's the right decision. Imagine an injury during the playoffs...the same folks complaining about shutting him down would complain that they did not. Today is a must-win for the Nats, because going down 2-1 is never a good thing. If the Nats lose the series, the blame will be shutting Stras down and the 2-3 format. If they do lose, I will blame it on their lack of experience, which would be fair. Yes, I'm a DC guy, but grew up a Mets fan (picked them against the O's in '69 when I was 7 and have been a fan ever since), and like the Nats and wish them well. I think they will beat the Cards...the Reds will be a tough series.
